In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, takes us on a journey to explore the history of chocolate.

Chocolate has become such an everyday part of our lives that it's hard to believe that it has a long, complicated and often dark history stretching back to the 15th Century.

So much has been written about the Titanic and its fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, that it might be hard to say anything new.

However, in these two episodes, our host, Simon Majumdar, will look not only at the history of the ship itself, but at what the food served to passengers in each of the classes carried onboard can tell us about society and the way people ate at the time.

Without his morning cup of tea – and a number more throughout the day – our host, Simon Majumdar, simply wouldn't be able to function. And, he is not alone as, with the exception of water, tea is the most popular drink on earth.

Tea has certainly had a fascinating history and Simon will follow it from its origins as a Chinese medicine, through its time as key element in Japanese ritual, through the opium Wars and to the greatest culinary espionage story of all time.

It is hard to think of another ingredient that falls so firmly into the "you either love it or you hate it" category than SPAM®. It's an ingredient that owes its existence in part to the French revolution, and its incredible success to the Second World War.

In this episode, our host, Simon Majumdar, follows the history of SPAM® back to the origins of food preservation and right up to its resurgence in popularity as it hits its 80th Anniversary.

Sushi has grown from being a subsection of Japanese cuisine to being perhaps Japan's most famous global export. It is now a huge business and is sold in outlets ranging from fine dining establishments to convenience stores. Quite a story for a dish that was originally created to preserve fish before refrigeration.

In this episode, our host, Simon Majumdar, follows the path of sushi's rise from the origins of preservation in the Mekong to its arrival in the West. Oh, and he even looks at the thorny issue of who invented the California Roll.

Simon Majumdar has often described his life as a "shallow search for the perfect Martini." And he is not alone as Gin has become fashionable again and is now one of the most drunk spirits in the world.

But, the fascinating history of Gin has seen it travel from medieval Italy, through the Low Countries of the Netherlands and then to Great Britain, where it became the ruin of the lower classes.

In this episode, Simon will see how Gin became "Mother's Ruin" and its road back to respectability.
